One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when someone hit him hard on the back of his neck. He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before.
“How dare you hit me like that?” shouted Wilson.
The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing.
This insult(侮辱) made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once decided to bring the young man before a judge.
Now , the judge who heard the case was a friend of the young man’s father’s, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking about what he could do to protect the young man from being punished while at the same time not to be appearing unfair.
Finally he said to Wilson, “I understand your feelings in this matter very well. Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?”
Wilson said he would not be. The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished.
“Well, then,” said the judge to the young man, “I order you to pay ten coins to Wilson.”
Ten coins was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it.
Wilson waited for him to return with the money. He waited an hour, and then two hours, while the judge took care of other business.
When it was nearly time for the court to close, Wilson chose a moment when the judge was especially busy, came up quietly and hit him hard on the back of the neck. Then he said to him, “I am sorry, but I can’t wait any longer. When the young man comes back, tell him that I have passed my right to the ten coins on to you.”
1.Why did the young man hit Wilson from behind?
A.Wilson had hit him before.
B.He had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his.
C.Wilson was a stranger there.
D.Wilson made a lot of noise when he was walking.
2.The judge thought about how to protect the young man because ________.
A.he thought it a small matter
B.as a judge, he should be fair
C.he thought the man too young to be punished
D.the young man was his friend’s son
3.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.The young man was ordered to hit himself as hard as he had done on Wilson.
B.Wilson was allowed to do more insulting on the young man.
C.Wilson was allowed to hit the young man as hard as he had done.

One day I was walking home along the street with my iPad on,when suddenly my headphones(耳机)were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck,saying“Just be quiet.” I was being attacked,and this man's arm was gripping(紧夹)onto me!I started screaming and tried to pull him off me, but failed. He was forcing me to walk towards the back of an auto repair shop and he just kept saying“Be quiet.”
My mind froze with fear. Then I heard my great-grandmother’s voice in my head. She was saying“Come on now. I know you are stronger than that!” She was the rock in our family until she died four years ago.
I have never had any self-defense(自卫)training, but I went for it--I let out a loud scream as I kicked my leg back into his shin(胫骨)!He let go of me(放开我) and I ran off. When I looked back to see if he was running after me,I saw he was running in the opposite direction. Then I ran like crazy to a nearby store.
I asked the girl at the counter for the phone and called my mom. She picked me up five minutes later and I explained what happened through sobs(抽泣).“I am calling the police!” She exclaimed. When we got home,two officers were waiting for us and I told them what had happened.
After my experience,I was afraid to do anything. Things slowly got better,but I still don’t like anyone going near my neck.

D. The accident left no influence on the author now.
4.What might be the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
